Geographical location

history

The village of Frauenroth emerged from the Frauenroth monastery founded in 1231 by the minstrel and Count Otto von Botenlauben and his wife Beatrix von Courtenay . The monastery was closed in 1574, before the Thirty Years War , after the death of Amalia von Rumrod , the last abbess of the monastery.

After the Thirty Years' War, the population in Amt Aschach was on the rise again. In 1674, 1522 families lived in the Aschach district. However, due to the effects of the war, the arable land, on which families had been able to live in 1922 in 1623, proved to be insufficient to feed the population. On behalf of the Würzburg Prince-Bishop Peter Philipp von Dernbach, the two official cellars Friedrich Kirchner von Trimberg and Johann Friedrich Baumann von Kissingen were supposed to investigate whether it was possible “to cultivate the desolation fields requested by the subordinates of the Aschach office on the black mountains and other areas of the district and to plumb meadows ”. Despite the concerns of his Ratskeller, the Prince-Bishop ordered clearing of the forest for the purpose of gaining arable land.

Through an inheritance letter from 1691, seven farmers from Burkardroth and Wollbach received ownership rights to the property of the former Frauenrother monastery; however, the actual inheritance may already have taken place in 1686, as a corresponding note in an official account from 1688 suggests.

But the first problems arose in 1694 when the arable land did not yield the hoped-for amount and the settlers were in arrears with their taxes. The Aschacher Amtskeller was commissioned to sell goods and buildings, but there were no interested parties. Instead, the valid demands on the settlers were reduced by a third.

The situation remained critical, so that by order of the Prince-Bishop of December 23, 1698, the cash payments were reduced and the grain validity claim was also reduced retrospectively for the previous seven years.

However, even a reduction in the purchase price of 1000 guilders by a third in 1699 did not have the desired effect, so that in 1707 meadow interest and pasture money were reduced for the following ten years; After the deadline, the farmers should either pay the original amount or apply for a new discount. The situation for the farmers only changed to a limited extent, as the field yield improved, but at the same time the population increased.

In 1935 the first plans were made to set up a separate cemetery for Frauenroth. After the dissolution of the Frauenroth monastery, the deceased von Frauenroth were buried in Burkardroth from 1691. The plans came from the Bad Kissingen architect F. Krampf; the morgue he planned was not put into practice until 1970, the water well never. The quarry stones for the surrounding wall were taken from the state forest. Under Pius Schmück, Mayor Mrs Roth and since 1935 NSDAP - group leader , the plans were adopted unanimously by the council on 12 November 1938th On the following day, the local council regulated the financing of the construction project through donations and a cemetery levy, among other things. Three companies from Großenbrach , Stralsbach and Wollbach applied to carry out the construction project; Josef Stang from Großenbrach was awarded the contract. The inauguration of the new cemetery took place on May 29, 1939 by Pastor Ludwig Kolb in the presence of the Second Mayor Eugen Vorndran with reporting in the Bad Kissinger Saale-Zeitung on May 31, 1939. To avoid meeting the clergy, Mayor Pius Schmück had pretending to participate in an important meeting in Würzburg by submitting a falsified letter from the NSDAP Gauleitung. In truth, according to eyewitness reports, he was staying in an inn in a neighboring community. On June 12, 1939, Pius Schmück was dismissed from all positions by district leader Heimbacher for forging documents. The next day he moved to Schweinfurt and was no longer politically active.

With the laying of a water pipe to Frauenroth, the local cemetery was also connected to the water supply. Under the mayor of Frauenroth, Heinrich Reitelbach, the construction of the morgue built by F. Krampf was put into practice by the Wollbach company Sigfried Brandl. The inauguration of the morgue took place on November 1, 1971.

On January 1, 1972, Frauenroth became part of Burkardroth as part of the municipal reform. In October 1971 surveys and votes had taken place in the villages incorporated after Burkardroth; of the 79 votes cast in Frauenroth, 74 were in favor of incorporation. Frauenroth's last mayor before incorporation was Heinrich Reitelbach.

Frauenroth Monastery

Former Cistercian monastery church Frauenroth

Count Otto von Botenlauben and his wife Beatrix von Courtenay , landlords of Burg Botenlauben , located in what is now the Reiterswiesen district of Bad Kissingen , founded the Frauenroth Abbey in 1231 at a time when they withdrew from worldly life after their son Otto II had joined the Teutonic Order and was no longer available as an inheritance. Botenlauben Castle was sold for the same reason ; The financial means for the maintenance of the monastery came from the sale.

According to legend, the monastery was built after Beatrix's veil was blown away by the wind while walking on the messenger arbor and Beatrix vowed to build a monastery at the place where it was found.

After their death, Otto and Beatrix Botenlauben were buried behind the altar of the monastery church. The early Gothic grave sculpture depicting the couple comes from the artist von Frauenroth , whose name is unknown .

Hat beech near Frauenroth

Hat beech near Frauenroth , view from the south

On the outskirts of Frauenroth, near the local cemetery, there is the hat beech near Frauenroth . It has been listed as a natural monument by the Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the Bad Kissingen district since March 24, 1971 . The age of the common beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) is estimated to be 250 to 350 years. Every year on the first Sunday in August, the hat book festival, which is also known outside of Frauenroth, is celebrated under the beech tree .

After fungal infestation and the risk of branch breakage were determined on the hat beech in 2009 , it was provided with a crown protection and fenced with a forest protection fence; In addition, two triangular connections should prevent the tree from breaking apart. In May 2012, the forest protection fence was replaced by a wooden fence.

On January 13, 2016, the hat beech overturned, possibly because of the storm "Egon" moving over Bavaria.
